"The Temptation of Christ" by Juan de Flandes, ~1504
Rev. Karen E. Gale preaching
"Jesus and Temptation"
Matthew 4:1-11
What would you do if you had unlimited power? What might you chance or try to fix or make happen in the world around you?
What would your life be like if you didn't have to depend on anyone else for anything, not food or work or even the civic services we don't even notice? You could be totally self sufficient, totally in control, totally safe.
And how would you feel if you knew without any doubts, without even a question, that God loved you so much you would never fall, never fail, never struggle, always be tended to and always loved beyond measure?
Tempting.....?
